THE CIVILIAN ARMY Organized Reserves—National Guard BY LIEUT. STEPHEN F. TILLMAN. federally recognized in the District of Columbla National Guard, |s re- lieved from assignment to the 313th Field Artillery medical personpel. ' Observations made in Army circles reveal that the present recruiting systems ;. of the Cjtizens' Military Training Corps and the National Guard are not altogether harmonious. 1t is pointed out that in obtaining young men attend - the" Cltizens' Military Trainiig Corps camps one of the most attractive inducements to the_prospective ‘candidate is .that he is given-a ration of seventy cents & day, with no guard or police duty. On the othér hand, recruits joining the Natfonal Guard recelve a ration of lesser value and must perform all manner of military duty. Qfficers who have been studying the question are of ‘the opinion that sooner or later the War Deépartment will be compelled to take some action which will regulate the present un- satisfactory method of obtaining men for these. organizations and the con- sensus of opinion among the services is_that the question should be.de- cided ak oon as it is possible. Second Lieut. Charles M. Boteler, infantry reserve, now attached to the 320th Infantry, ‘s assigned instead. First Lieut. Albert 8. Callaway, medi- cal administrative reserve, this city, having removed to the 6th Corps area, is_relieved from attachment to the 305th Medical Regiment. Capt. Fred- erick A.- SBimmons, fleld artillery re- serve, former address Woodrock, Md., having removed beyond the divisional area, is relleved from assignment to the 313th Field Artillery. Reports recelved from Army med- ,dcal officers who made the physical texaminations of those attending the National Guard, Organized Reserve, C. M. T. C.and R. O. T. C. camps dur- ing the past summer indicate that observation was made of the matter of clothing and shoes issued to those in_attendance.. This was in addition to the general rocord made of individual physical condftions. The issue of woolen socks to the C. M. T, C. this year has prevented many cases of foot injury It has been said thit the number of injuries from the issue shoe has been appreciably less this year than last. The shoes issued to students in the training camps were fitted with the shoe-fitting machine, and the fitting is described - as - exceptionally well done. It Js insisted that there can be no complaint about fitting the shoes or the care of the fegt-of the students. While the present issue shoe s not regarded as desirable from the stand- point of appearance, comfort and pro- |tection to the fcet as was the old i garrison shoe, nevertheless it affords a reasonable amount of those quali- tles and, in addition, is sufficiently serviceable to be economical. It is realized that a lighter and a more comfortable shoe would be too ex- pensive to be practical, and the pres- ent shoe Is declared a decided im- provement over the old field shoe. Remarkably few complaints about the present shoe, particularly if the wearer has become accustomed to it, have been reported. {.

Fort Douglas, his claim being sub- mitted to Capt. Otto J. Langtry, finance officer at Fort Douglas. The controller general in his de- ¢ision decides that the officer having been on active duty for thirty days, including July 31, is entitled to rental allowance for the full period, and that the claim submitted may be paid by the finance officer. From this de cislon it would appear that rese officers who failed to receive rental allowance on account of qependents during the period they were on duty the intent of section 63. All of the militia laws have constituted every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of elghteen and forty-five, with certain specific exemptions mentioned in the statutes, a member thereof. The later acts have provided for a uni- formed, enlisted or organized active militia, and that portion of the mili- tia is styled in the act of June 3, 1916, section 58, the Natlonal Guard. In the act of June 3,-1916, liberal provision is made for that portion of the militia denominated -the Na- at camps after July 1, 1922, will re- celve such allowance if proper vouch- ers are furnished the finance officer of the camp which they attended. I8 will save them the delay usually occasloned when claims are filed with the general accounting office. Army finance officers have been paying members of the reserve the rental allowance on the assumption that this was or would be authorized under the provisions of the act of September 14, 1 This referred to pay only during perlod of active serv- fce on the part of National Guard and reserve officers while attending a service school of maneuver. The policy of tie as will be seen from revised Army Regulations, 600-40, is to encourage reserve officers to wear their uniform on all occasions where military dres 18 proper and in good taste. The re- vised regulations cover all the func- tions where a reserve officer should appear In uniform and specifically those cases where a reserve officer is also a member of the Regular Army or the National Guard. | r Department The War Department recently ap- pealed from a decision of the con- troller general, which held that an- cient corps of artillery, cavalry or in- fantry of the states continued in ex istence since May 8, 1792, the authority contained of the act of that date, and th titions of that authority in late of Congress relating to the_militia which become a part of the National Guard, must, for pay purposes, con- lurnb to the organization prescribed generally for the National ard, and that if officers of such o nizations 50 merged into the National Guard are federally recognized in grades other than provided for by tables of organization for the unit, they are supernumerary and the law does not authorize payment to them as Nation- al Guard. . The specific case presented is that of the commanding officer of the ma- chine gun battalion, 211th Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Massachusetts National Guard, the battalion being the suc- cessor of thé 1st Corps Cadets of Boston, which hed a continuous ex- istence from 1728 and which since 1786, by the by-laws of the state of Massachusetts, has been entitied to be commanded by a lleutenant colo- nel. Tables of organization provide a major as a commanding officer of a machine gun battalion. The controller | general says in reply: The substance of section 63 of the act of June 3, 1916, is not new in the legislation affecting the militia, and although the prior statutes were | referred to in the decision of October 17, 1922, as the basis for the conclu> sion there announced. a quotation of | the provisions in their chronological | will aid in the ascergainment of tional Guard. and it is contended that under section 63 of the act these ancient corps are entitled’to exist as therctofore, separate and apart from the militia, retaining their old or- ganization, and in addition, under the two provisos of the section, they m as such separate and. distinct organi- zations become a part of the National Guard and entitled to all’ the privil- eges of National Guard, including pay of officers, but that such officers are entitled to pay in the advanced grade provided by state law prior to 179 to state it shortly, that they may be. at one and the same time, not & part of the National Guard and & part of the National Guard and entitled to er privileges In the matter of pay. A more reasonable construction is that the proviso accorded to such or- ganizations affirmatively eligibility for inclusion in the National Guard. but that if any continued to exist as organized bodirs of state troops out- side the National Guard they would in time of war be required to conform tion to that preseribed for Guard. last proviso Is unnecessary if organizations become federai- ed National Guard; it is designed to provide for the possible futuro provision for training of such organ- izations, and their use as militia in e of the United States ause of the section sub- to all duties required ia." The suc - act of May 12, 1917, extended special priv to the 1st Corp: Cadets of the National Guard of Mas- achusetts. roviso quoted ords mo mew right or privilege, it merely re-affirms that which was au- thorized by existing law. The organ- is definitely stated to be a part and, such be- ing the case, s and men are entitled to the same pay as is author- zed for corresponding units of tiw ational Guard, no special or excen- tional privileges to pay having becn provided. The conclusion reached in previous decisjons is adhered to. 3 MILES OF COTTON YARN USED IN WOVEN SPREAD From the Topeka Capital. Using almost three miles of yarn for their purpose, R. H.
